Hi! I’m Erica, the blogger behind “For the Sake of Cake.”
I’m a 20-something high school English teacher who lives in southeastern Pennsylvania. Teaching (& grading!) takes up a lot of my time, but when I do have free time I enjoy spending it with my husband, Chris, my family, my friends, & my pug, Stewie.
“For the Sake of Cake” will document my “adventures” in balancing an intense love of cake (& all things sweets-related for that matter) with other, healthier choices. I recently started eating healthier & exercising more consistently (& subsequently lost a little bit of weight!) for my August 6, 2011 wedding & hope to continue these healthy habits as Chris & I start our lives together!
Purpose
The purpose of this blog is not so much to present my “daily eats” (even though I love reading blogs like that!) but to share fun & tasty recipes, some of my meals & workouts, & other aspects of my life that I deem exciting enough for others to read about. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks! I checked out your blog and your dog is a cutie too!
I saw you on Cait’s Plate and had to come say hello seeing as both of our blogs have “cake” in the title. 🙂
Clearly, we have a common interest! 🙂
I love your blog! We have the same “theme” 😉 I just started mine a few days ago and I love it!! Congrats on your wedding I was just married in December! It all goes by to fast. Enjoy it!!

A teacher from PA! Yay!! Me too (well, kinda..) I just graduated with my degree in elementary education and am continuing on for more schooling! Can’t wait to follow your blog!
Congrats on graduating! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I can totally relate! I love making healthy foods when I’m at home but once that brownie or cupcake is in front of me I just want to down the whole batch! I look forward to learning from you!
That’s exactly how I am! So finally I realized if I’m going to indulge so much in sweets, I need to be mindful of what else I eat!
Just came across your blog and wanted to say hi! I have to say your pug is soo adorable. I’ve always wanted a black pug. 🙂
Thank you! He is pretty cute & he knows it! 😉
Just came across your blog….looks like you have some very tasty meals to try it!! And congrats on your wedding!
Thank you! I’m new to the kitchen so if I can make these meals, anyone can!
